Michael Zarowny: Research Assistant
Michael Zarowny worked as a research assistant for the BC Centre for Excellence from October 1999 to July 2000, before moving on to a position at the Canadian HIV Trials Network. His responsibilities included data entry of the Vanguard questionnaires so that they can be analysed by the statisticians.

Michael also helped design posters and slides for conference presentations and assisted with keeping the Vanguard web site up to date. In addition, he provided clerical assistance to the HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program and entered data for the Phenotyping Project, an analysis of the success of various antiretroviral drug therapies.

"What I like about working for the Centre for Excellence is the variety of tasks that need to be completed," says Michael. "Working with the Vanguard Project has given me a chance to understand the importance of health research, especially pertaining to HIV and hepatitis."
